bǎo shé cǐ kè nǎo xiū chéng nù ， nà shì sī háo bǎo liú yě wú 。（）
宝蛇此刻恼羞成怒，那是丝毫保留也无。（）
The treasure snake was now enraged, showing no restraint at all. (())
yào zhī dào lǐng yù gù rán wēi lì wú bǐ ， dàn xiāo hào de fǎ lì ， yě tóng yàng shì tiān wén shù zì ， jí biàn shì tā zhè yàng de qiáng zhě ， néng bù yòng ， yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， nà yě shì bú huì yòng dì 。
要知道领域固然威力无比，但消耗的法力，也同样是天文数字，即便是她这样的强者，能不用，一般情况下，那也是不会用地。
To understand the situation: while domains were indeed incredibly powerful, they also consumed vast amounts of mana, astronomical in scale. Even for a powerhouse like her, she would not use them unless absolutely necessary.
miàn duì qū qū yī míng dù jié hòu qī ， shēn wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ de tā bèi bī pò shǐ yòng lǐng yù ， zhè běn lái jiù shì yī zhǒng qí chǐ dà rǔ 。
面对区区一名渡劫后期，身为真魔始祖的她被逼迫使用领域，这本来就是一种奇耻大辱。
Facing just an early-stage Transcender, being forced to activate her domain was already a great humiliation. She couldn't help but feel incompetent!
shuō wú néng yě méi yǒu cuò ！
说无能也没有错！
But regardless, since she had come this far, she could not let Lin Xuan go without accomplishing anything. Whether incompetent or laughed at, the treasure snake didn’t care; in any case, she would use every means necessary to eliminate him.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zì jǐ jì rán lái le ， zǒng bù néng wú gōng ér fǎn de jiāng lín xiǎo zi fàng guò 。
但不管如何，自己既然来了，总不能无功而返的将林小子放过。
The domain activated, and Lin Xuan’s situation became perilous. "My domain is my command," he thought, far from idle talk. As a True Demon Ancestor, her domain's power was incomparable to that of the Heavenly璇and Earth玑.
wú néng yě hǎo ， bèi chǐ xiào yě bà ， bǎo shé dōu bù zài hū ， zǒng ér yán zhī ， tā yào bù zé shǒu duàn ， jiāng lín xuān miè chú 。
无能也好，被耻笑也罢，宝蛇都不在乎，总而言之，她要不择手段，将林轩灭除。
Despite having improved significantly, this was still the most terrifying crisis Lin Xuan had faced since his journey into cultivation. He might even fall at any moment.
lǐng yù zhǎn kāi ， lín xuān de chǔ jìng dùn shí jiān xiǎn 。
领域展开，林轩的处境顿时艰险。
How could he break through this predicament? Most cultivators would have been terrified and lost their fighting spirit long ago. But Lin Xuan certainly wouldn't be so foolish or cowardly.
wǒ de lǐng yù wǒ zuò zhǔ ， zhè kě jué bú shì hú yán luàn shuō ， gèng hé kuàng bǎo shé shēn wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， lǐng yù de wēi lì ， jué fēi tiān xuán dì jī kě bǐ ，
我的领域我做主，这可绝不是胡言乱说，更何况宝蛇身为真魔始祖，领域的威力，绝非天璇地玑可比，
His expression was still grim as he raised a hand, emitting golden light. Layered shadows appeared behind him, initially blurry but quickly becoming clear and substantial.
kě yǐ shuō ， lín xuān suī jīn fēi xī bǐ ， dàn cǐ kè suǒ miàn duì de ， què shì zì tà rù xiū xiān zhī lù yǐ lái ， zuì kě pà de wēi jú 。
可以说，林轩虽今非昔比，但此刻所面对的，却是自踏入修仙之路以来，最可怕的危局。
With nine heads and eighteen arms, the figure was mysterious. Each of the nine heads had faces identical to Lin Xuan's, but their expressions were different, with an extra demonic eye above each brow. The eighteen arms were pure gold, adorned with ancient mystical runes on their surfaces. As he spread his fingers, various magical treasures appeared—some exuding divine aura, others surrounded by spiritual light; none of them were ordinary.
suí shí yǔn luò dōu bù xī qí 。
随时陨落都不稀奇。
Swinging the arms, a thick layer of spiritual light enveloped him as he launched it forward. The nine heads either spat out lightning and fire or shot out beams of energy, creating a storm of attacks that engulfed the treasure snake.
lín xuān jiū jìng gāi zěn yàng cái néng pò jiě yǎn qián wēi jī ？
林轩究竟该怎样才能破解眼前危机？
She didn’t dodge; instead, she repeated her technique, flicking her jade fingers to activate her domain. She turned into an ethereal figure, allowing all the attacks to pass through her body unharmed. She seemed invincible as she continued to approach Lin Xuan with alarming speed.
huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， shí yǒu bā jiǔ zǎo yǐ xīn shēng jù yì ， shèn zhì dòu zhì quán wú ， dàn lín xuān dāng rán bú huì zhè yàng yú chǔn nuò ruò 。
换一名修仙者，十有八九早已心生惧意，甚至斗志全无，但林轩当然不会这样愚蠢懦弱。
Lin Xuan refused to sit idly by and used spatial displacement to evade the treasure snake. However, he soon realized that when he tried to break space for a third time, it didn’t work. His mastery of spatial laws had suddenly become useless.
dāng rán ， tā de liǎn sè yì shì níng zhòng wú bǐ 。
当然，他的脸色亦是凝重无比。
Clearly, this was the treasure snake’s doing.
shǒu yī tái ， jīn máng zhà xiàn ， lín xuān bèi hòu ， yǒu céng céng xū yǐng fú xiàn 。
手一抬，金芒乍现，林轩背后，有层层虚影浮现。
Not only could she seal spatial laws; her domain was truly impressive. Dark demonic energy emerged from her white palms as a magical sword appeared in her fingers—sinister and deadly like a venomous serpent.
kāi shǐ hái yǒu xiē mó hú ， hěn kuài ， jiù biàn dé qīng xī hòu shí 。
开始还有些模糊，很快，就变得清晰厚实。
The pressure it emitted was staggering. The treasure snake swung at Lin Xuan with black sword energy, mixed with chaotic mana. A hit would leave him severely injured or even dead.
jiǔ tóu shí bā bì ， shén mì yǐ jí 。
九头十八臂，神秘以极。
Lin Xuan didn’t want to sit idly by either. He tried to dodge but found that not only were spatial laws sealed, the air itself had become rigid. While he wasn’t completely immobilized, his speed was significantly reduced.
jiǔ gè tóu lú ， róng mào yǔ lín xuān bié wú èr zhì ， dàn biǎo qíng què shì gè bù xiāng tóng ， qiě méi yǔ zhī jiān ， jiē shēng yǒu dì sān zhǐ yāo mù 。
九个头颅，容貌与林轩别无二致，但表情却是各不相同，且眉宇之间，皆生有第三只妖目。
The treasure snake sneered. "Too late to realize now!"
ér shí bā tiáo shǒu bì ， zé zuò chún jīn zhī sè ， biǎo miàn de líng wén shén mì gǔ piáo 。
而十八条手臂，则做纯金之色，表面的灵纹神秘古朴。
As the black energy neared Lin Xuan within a few feet, he whipped out a shield the size of a palm. Then, a stream of mixed blood and mana erupted from his mouth.
wǔ zhǐ zhǎn kāi ， dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， gè zhǒng bù tóng xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù fú xiàn chū lái ， huò xiān qì yīn yūn 。 huò líng guāng huán rào ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
五指展开，刀枪剑戟，各种不同形状的宝物浮现出来，或仙气氤氲。或灵光环绕，一看就不是凡物。
With a loud *bang*, it turned into a mist that was quickly absorbed by the shield. The shield expanded several times its original size, now blocking Lin Xuan’s front.
shǒu bì huī wǔ ， dùn shí líng guāng dà zuò ， tuán tuán bǎo guāng xiàng qián hōng là xià qù le 。
手臂挥舞，顿时灵光大做，团团宝光向前轰落下去了。
The treasure snake sneered. "A mere先天treasure? I’ll split you in two!"
zhì yú nà jiǔ kē tóu lú ， huò kǒu pēn léi huǒ ， huò cóng yǎn zhōng shè chū yī dào dào chán rào zhe diàn hú de guāng zhù ， qǐng kè jiān ， bào fēng zhòu yǔ bān de gōng jī ， jiù jiāng bǎo shé bāo guǒ 。
至于那九颗头颅，或口喷雷火，或从眼中射出一道道缠绕着电弧的光柱，顷刻间，暴风骤雨般的攻击，就将宝蛇包裹。
But to her surprise, the shield effortlessly blocked her attack. "This..."
cǐ nǚ méi duǒ ， gù jì zhòng shī 。 yù zhǐ fēn dàn ， lǐng yù zhǎn kāi ， tā dùn shí biàn chéng le xū yǐng yì bān ， suǒ yǒu de gōng jī ， quán bù yóu tā de qū tǐ zhōng chuān guò ， cǐ nǚ què xiàng bù sǐ zhī shēn yī yàng ， fēn háo sǔn shāng yě wú ， yī jiù fēi kuài de xiàng lín xuān jiē jìn zhe 。
此女没躲，故技重施。玉指纷弹，领域展开，她顿时变成了虚影一般，所有的攻击，全部由她的躯体中穿过，此女却像不死之身一样，分毫损伤也无，依旧飞快的像林轩接近着。
Her expression changed as she focused intently and asked, "Xuan Turtle Dragon Shield—primordial matter. Where did you get such a precious item?"
lín xuān zì rán bù kěn zuò yǐ dài bì ， shī zhǎn chū kōng jiān nuó yí 。
林轩自然不肯坐以待毙，施展出空间挪移。
She was indeed a True Demon Ancestor with vast knowledge, recognizing this treasure so easily.
duǒ bì bǎo shé ！
躲避宝蛇！
Lin Xuan’s heart raced but he didn’t show any signs of it. This wasn’t the time to answer questions.
kě tā hěn kuài fā xiàn 。 zì jǐ xiǎng yào dì sān cì jiāng kōng jiān pò kāi de shí hòu ， què zuò bú dào le 。
可他很快发现。自己想要第三次将空间破开的时候，却做不到了。
"Fine, if you won't talk, I’ll extract your soul and refine your essence!" she said coldly. "Stupid creature, do you think a mere先天treasure can stop me?"
zì jǐ suǒ zhǎng wò de kōng jiān fǎ zé ， tū rán shī qù le yòng chǔ 。
自己所掌握的空间法则，突然失去了用处。
Before her words were even finished, dark demonic energy flowed out, forming bizarre heavenly laws that struck the Xuan Turtle Dragon Shield with great force.
bú yòng shuō ， zhè zì rán shì bǎo shé gǎo de guǐ 。
不用说，这自然是宝蛇搞的鬼。
Water could extinguish fire; defensive primordial treasures had significant power and could still function within an enemy’s domain. But they couldn’t last forever. They merely bought Lin Xuan some time.
lián kōng jiān fǎ zé yě néng fēng dǔ 。 cǐ nǚ de lǐng yù ， zhe shí yǒu kě quān kě diǎn zhī chù 。
连空间法则也能封堵。此女的领域，着实有可圈可点之处。
Aware of this, after summoning the Xuan Turtle Dragon Shield, he quickly took new action. He sat cross-legged as a primordial infant appeared above his head, with a determined expression. His small hands moved rapidly while he chanted incantations.
sēn rán de mó qì yóu tā jié bái de yù zhǎng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū ， bǎo shé de zhǐ zhǎng jiān ， fú xiàn chū le yī bǐng mó jiàn 。
森然的魔气由她洁白的玉掌中浮现而出，宝蛇的指掌间，浮现出了一柄魔剑。
As he acted, an incredible scene unfolded: mystical runes erupted from Lin Xuan’s body, emitting multicolored spiritual light. Despite his closed eyes, his aura began to rise steadily.
xíng zhuàng guǐ yì 。 jiù xiàng yī tiáo zé rén ér shì de dú shé 。
形状诡异。就像一条择人而噬的毒蛇。
Rumble!
rán ér sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā què lìng rén zé shé 。
然而散发出来的威压却令人咋舌。
A roar echoed as the Little Heavenly Realm Dharmic Form’s body emitted spiritual light before pouncing on Lin Xuan. Golden light surged as they merged perfectly. Lin Xuan's skin turned pure gold, and his aura increased by nearly half.
bǎo shé duì zhe lín xuān hěn hěn huī luò 。
宝蛇对着林轩狠狠挥落。
In terms of mana density and quantity, he was already on par with the treasure snake.
hēi sè de jiàn qì rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， zhōng jiān hái jiā zá zhe hùn luàn de fǎ zé zhī lì ， ruò shì bèi jī zhòng 。 bù sǐ yě yào tuō céng pí 。
黑色的剑气如疾风骤雨，中间还夹杂着混乱的法则之力，若是被击中。不死也要脱层皮。
Yet, despite this, the situation remained perilous. Lin Xuan took a deep breath, casting spells from his fingertips. Clear ringing sounds filled the air as the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword returned.
lín xuān zì rán bù yuàn yì zuò yǐ dài bì 。
林轩自然不愿意坐以待毙。
"Break!"
xiǎng duǒ ！
想躲！
He pointed at an enemy with one finger, and eighty-one divine swords converged in different directions. Simplifying complexity to just nine swords. Each sword was of varying lengths and styles, emitting different spiritual energies.
kě tā hěn kuài fā xiàn ， bù zhǐ kōng jiān fǎ zé ， lián kōng qì yì biàn dé níng gù 。
可他很快发现，不止空间法则，连空气亦变得凝固。
The Nine Palaces Momentary represented the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—as well as wind, lightning, and illusion. Now they returned to their most basic forms.
suī rán bù zhì yú dòng tán bù dé ， dàn dùn guāng sù dù ， zì rán dà shòu yǐng xiǎng le 。
虽然不至于动弹不得，但遁光速度，自然大受影响了。
With his deep scheming, Lin Xuan wouldn’t act aimlessly. His main primordial infant had returned to his dantian, sitting opposite a second primordial infant, while his true spirit inner core spun wildly. Multicolored, nearly a hundred illusions of true spirits emerged one by one.
The treasure snake was now enraged, showing no restraint at all. (())
To understand the situation: while domains were indeed incredibly powerful, they also consumed vast amounts of mana, astronomical in scale. Even for a powerhouse like her, she would not use them unless absolutely necessary.
